If you check the LaserJet manual "Line Termination" section, you will find
out that \033&k2G fixes that.  By default the LaserJet thinks that CR is
CR, LF is LF, and FF is FF, but that behavior can be changed somewhat.
In particular, mode setting 2 leaves CR alone but supplies an implicit CR
for both LF and FF.  This is quite helpful, since the terminal driver can't
do the translation without potentially fouling up graphics data.
